At 72, instead of settling into slippers and cozy chairs, I picked up paint—lots of it. What started with a YouTube whisper of “you could do this” quickly turned into puddles of color on my canvas, my floor, even in my hair, and I was hooked. My first attempt was far from perfect, but I learned to embrace the messy beauty of pour painting, letting gravity, movement, and spontaneity lead the way.

Now, each piece I create feels alive, whether it ends up on a canvas, a tray, a coaster, or even my sweet dog Lucy by accident. Based in Lititz, PA, I’m a self-taught artist driven to transform everyday objects into vibrant, one-of-a-kind works filled with swirls of cobalt, flashes of gold, and bursts of emerald. You can find my artwork at Artisan Village in Bird-in-Hand, PA, or on Facebook at Pour Sandi, where joy spills over, colors collide, and my journey as an artist is just beginning.
